Vaccinations: Pro or Con is the shot in the arm this thread needed.
The other difference is non-top tier stations may not move as much fuel, meaning moisture and varnish and poorer quality stock, which results is poor engine performance in the short term and potential problems in the long term.

Notice the difference in BP premium and Shell premium?
Wonder why that is....
Let's not also forget a decade or two ago, BMW was replacing engines at 30k due to the crappy sulphuric fuel eating away at cylinder wall linings.
European fuel tests do not translate to USA fuel tests. They use different formulations than we do so this test has nothing to do with the talk at hand.
Also fuel has changed in the past decade or two. We didn't have as much corn and water as we do now.
Again show me facts and show me what additives that Top Tier fuel has that another fuel doesn't. I need percentages and parts per million of these additives. How much goes into one gallon.
I need facts and figures because right now Top Tier is just a paid endorsement.
Not so much different formulations, as the base product (petrol) has slightly less sulphur.
The add packs are going to be virtually the same, aside from slight changes to account to emissions.
It can't be than much different and be as different as you just said. It's either they use the same gas as us, which they don't and won't, or it's completely different, which it is.
Euro fuel test don't count.
As for the additives there's nothing proprietary about fuel additives. If an independent lab can test them they can formulate the additives and percentages. But like has been said before, not just be me, there is no lab results to back up the paid endorsement of "Top Tier".

So when I point out you are wrong I'm shitting on everything. Nice theory.If you want to shit on everything, write to Shell and ask yourself.

All big name stations replace their filters on a regular basis.

ITT a bunch of folks who don't know what EGR is.
Do y'all actually know anything about cars?
